Shared route for cyclists and pedestrians sign

What it means

This route is shared by pedal cycles and pedestrians only.

The bicycle and the walking figures show that both cyclists and pedestrians use the same path, with no dividing line.

Cyclists should take care around pedestrians, and pedestrians should be aware of cyclists.

Where you'll see it

On shared-use paths away from the road, and on some shared paths beside it.
